Re: Change Of Instructions For Direct Deposit: Fill & Download for Free

Your Veteran benefits will still go to the prior account unless you made a change of direct deposit with the VA. The bank will often hold direct deposits for a period of 30 days, rather than reject them, on a newly closed account.If you opened the new account with the same bank, they would have a cross-reference to move those funds to your new account. If the new account is with a different bank, you can instruct the prior bank to route those funds to your new account. They may or may not do that, as the direct deposit is directed to a specific account by the VA and they may not be authorized to re-direct the payment.If the funds are not claimed during the hold period, they will be rejected and returned to the VA. Once you change the direct deposit with the VA, those returned funds will be re-sent to the new account.It’s never a good idea to close a bank account that has ANY direct deposit until you establish a new account first, then change the direct deposit information for the source of your funds.

I’ve made a list of the loudest and/or most frequent process complaints I heard from Republicans defending Trump and consolidated them into these ten…1. “There wasn't a vote, so the whole thing is a sham…”There’s no rule anywhere saying a special vote was needed. They were carrying out oversight, one of their core functions, under rules updated just four years ago, written by Republicans themselves. They also tried to use that argument in court and it went no where. They did end up voting anyway, but the vote that truly matters will be the actual vote on impeachment. So, while the complaint was groundless to begin with, it’s also outdated and been rendered entirely null & void. Next?2. “Sworn testimony taken before the vote shouldn't count…”The “no vote” complaint was frivolous to begin with, but this one building off it is no better. Are we children yelling “doesn’t count!”; “no takes!”; and “do over!”?We’re not talking about searches done without warrants (they compared it to that)…we’re talking about Congress doing what it always does, or at least is supposed to. Are sworn statements to Congress not valid on certain days? Do they want all the witnesses to come back and re-answer all the same questions? In fact, didn’t the Dems just call back a bunch of the witnesses to re-testify, this time publicly, only to have Republicans complain about that too?Yes, they did. It’s somehow simultaneously being dragged out, and rushed; being done in secret, and made into a public show; something that didn’t count before the vote, and a waste of time to do again. It’s almost like they’re just looking for something to complain about, but that can’t be…3. “Depositions were held secretly” / “behind closed doors” / “in the basement of a bunker”So…they shouldn’t count? It’s not clear what the implication is supposed to be other than something nefarious must’ve been happening and we should all be very suspicious.Obviously, they weren’t done in secret; we all knew about them concurrently and reporters were waiting outside the doors. However, they were done in closed session, which committees do all the time, especially when there’s good reason, such as interviewing multiple witnesses to events who might be inclined to sync up their stories or change their recollections.Again, they were done under the same rules Republicans themselves established and used for the Benghazi committee. They held dozens of hearings and all but one were done in private. The Republican chairman of that committee is on record singing the praises of that method: “The private ones [hearings] always produce better results.”When recently asked if he still feels the same and agrees with Democrats doing the hearings in private, he said: “100%.”Also, the depositions were transcribed and published, so nothing about them is a secret. We know what was said. Republicans were in the room and full participants. The location of the hearing room is irrelevant (and if that’s their big complaint they really have nothing) and just happens to be a great place for interviewing people from the intelligence community who might need to reference classified information.4. “Members couldn’t get access” / “Republicans didn't have access”Every member of the committee had access, plus every member of two more committees. That’s more than a quarter of the House and 100+ Representatives from both parties.At that early stage of the investigation, the committee deposition stage, there were Republicans with access and Democrats with access, and there were Republicans without and Democrats without. It was proportionally the same.The rules would’ve allowed for the closed committee meetings to be restricted to just the members of that committee, but they went above and beyond and extended it far past that number, quadrupling it.In just the past month, there have already been more open hearings than there were during the entirety of the Benghazi committee, which held years of hearings.5. “Republicans couldn't ask questions”A bald-faced lie. Look at any of the transcripts from those closed hearings and you’ll find Republicans were obviously permitted to ask questions. They followed essentially the same format as was followed in the televised hearings, where Republicans and their counsel asked plenty of questions. Equal time was offered per House rules.6. “Republicans couldn't get witnesses”There’s at least a modicum of truth to this one. First, they could get witnesses, and in fact did. Several of the witnesses who testified in public hearings were requested by Republicans. Their testimony didn’t go well for them, but that doesn’t suddenly make them someone else’s witnesses.The true part of their complaint is that some of their subpoena requests were denied. For example, the chairman steadfastly refused to allow them to out the whistleblower, particularly since the substance of the concerns they raised have been completely corroborated by the evidence, starting with the call notes Trump himself released. The equally vocal outrage at the supposed use of “hearsay” testimony and the whistleblower’s complaint being all based on “hearsay” is a contradiction they don’t seem to mind.The whistleblower also offered to answer written questions under oath but strangely they’ve not taken them up on that.The committee Majority also refused to allow the Minority to turn the hearings into a circus by dragging in people with no information to offer on the president’s actions, or those of his designees. That may happen at the trial in the Senate where the Republicans are in control, but it was not necessary for the investigation and indictment stage.7. They were all "Democrat witnesses"Nope, not a one. All the witnesses were either rigidly nonpartisan, or Republican. And they are all working for a Republican administration, some even handpicked by Trump or his top people.8. “Republicans weren’t allowed to yield time to each other like Democrats did”Of course they were, and did, repeatedly. What they weren’t allowed to do was take from the counsel’s time, in violation of the rules. They knew this but pretended they didn’t so they could manufacture a controversy and get footage of their stunt being gaveled down. I’ve explained this in detail, including excerpts and links with the exact rule they were breaking.9. Some witnesses didn't have direct contact with Trump.This is true. It is absolutely true. Does that make them irrelevant? Absolutely not.If I’m on record saying I want you to do this really shady thing, and I want you to work with my top people on it, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, wouldn’t it be reasonable to try to talk to Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and the people they dealt with?Wouldn’t it also be reasonable to seek all the contemporaneous documents, emails, text messages, and call records that might corroborate, contradict, or freshen the memories of those witnesses? And to seek out testimony from all the people partaking in those documents, even if they didn’t have direct contact with Trump, only Huey, Duey, and Louie?Well, Trump had lots of contact with Gordon Sondland on this matter, so he and people he interacted with were called as witnesses and testified, and provided evidence to help corroborate their testimony, despite Trump’s instructions not to do either.Trump also named Rudy Giuliani as his point person on this matter, but he’s refusing to comply with the subpoena, so instead some of the people he interacted with on the matter were asked to testify, and it so happens some of those people also interacted with Sondland on the matter, and provided evidence to help corroborate their testimony.Mike Pompeo, Trump’s Secretary of State, had direct contact with Trump on the matter, but he’s refusing to testify or provide documents, but people he dealt with on the matter testified, and provided some of the documents he refused to share.Same with Trump’s Chief of Staff, Mick Mulvaney. Same with Trump’s National Security Advisor, John Bolton. Same with his Attorney General, William Barr. On and on it goes. Plenty of witnesses without direct contact with the Boss had useful information to share, and that’s on top of the considerable amount of first-hand evidence Republicans claim is missing.Also, doesn’t this process complaint contradict their other process complaint about not being able to subpoena either Hunter Biden, or the whistleblower, or some DNC person they rolled into one of the conspiracy theories?10. “It’s the wrong committee handling it”We could just file this under, “Who the hell cares?” but I guess we’ll have to shoot it down like all the others. The Whistleblower is part of the Intelligence Community. As such s/he made the complaint to the Intelligence Community Inspector General, who dutifully investigated and after determining it was not only credible but urgent, reported it to the Director of National Intelligence (both men were Trump appointees, by the way). The Director of National Intelligence eventually reported it to the relevant congressional committee, the Intelligence Committee, which is investigating. The investigation is the very same one they’re saying has nothing to do with intelligence and shouldn’t be involved.In fact, numerous committees are involved with the impeachment inquiry and will be reporting their findings to the Judiciary Committee (the one Republicans are complaining isn’t involved), who will review the evidence in the reports and draft articles of impeachment if they determine they’re warranted. What a process travesty!If you’re as exhausted from reading this bullshit as I am writing about it, you have a pretty good idea of how strong Trump’s defense is(n’t) if this is the best they can do. There are probably more I’ve forgotten and I’m sure there will be new ones trotted out soon enough, but for now we’ll just have to stop at 10.Update:Another meritless process complaint: “agency lawyers were excluded from depositions”For more answers like this, check out: Political Clarity, Demystifying U.S. Politics.
